The Ministry of Showing Up

by Tony Phillips

There's a member at our gym who, for months, showed up every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6 AM. He never missed. He wasn't the fastest or the strongest. But he was always there.

One day, another member told him: "You have no idea how much it means to me that you're always here. On the mornings I almost don't come, I think about you - and I show up."

Ministry doesn't always look like a sermon or a service project. Sometimes it looks like showing up to a 6 AM workout, being consistent, and letting people know they're not alone.

Your presence matters more than you think.
